Comments Thread For: Golovkin: Going To 168 Would Be Temporary - I'm Natural 160

[Curtis Harper]

The real big money guys in the sport cast a shadow over everything the way I see it - the sport kinda distorts it's reality around 'em - and whilst I get that's part of what drives the economy of the sport I'm really one for seeing all fighters getting equal opportunities.

Anyways. That's just me I guess.

GGGs career is all but over now, all that's left for him is maybe collecting a few more paychecks and maybe helping to develop his promotion so he's got some kinda income after his paid fighting days are done.

I point to GGG because he had his chance to do what Nelo did. He knew damn well he could have moved up and went back if he really wanted to.

Nelo showed him it's possible.....kinda. GGG....I'm sure one of those G's stand for geezer.

Well he did try at one point I think - 2014/5 feelers were put out for Froch and Jr but neither materialised. Then pretty much from then onwards he was chasing the Canelo payday. I never approved of him passing on good fights to that end, but I also ain't really gonna criticise a guy - especially a boxer well into his 30s who never really got top $ - for chasing the money. Again that's part of the problem with one or two fighters being worth vast amounts of money. It distorts everything and actually messes up the regular guys making good fights. Just one more of the issues that hobbles this sport.

Boxing isn’t complicated. The rule of the game is if the boxer or promoter are truly pursuing a fight for top dollar but have been challenged to do something in order to get that fight then they must do it since it changes the narrative (circumstance).

Jacobs is a perfect example, recently, when he told Rosado, “you don’t deserve it (a fight with him).” Many bóxers who’ve done PPV or done it think this way NATURALLY. Like Swift Garcia who is one of the top PBC guys who has shown for years thanks to GBP, not Haymon. That’s ironic since Garcia was better off with GBP.

So right now, if Charlo really wanted Canelo. Fight and beat Andrade for unification. That should put pressure on Team Canelo.

Everyone is in line for a Canelo payday. Much of the context is to not give other boxers employment off their image and revenue. That’s obvious

I don't think that, at this point, still are people really interested in what GGG does next...

Golovkin is talking about overeating at CHristmas time, not fighting.

[NORMNEALON]

Yep, anyone from 154 to 168, is a breeze!

Just at 160*****

[Nay_Sayer]

I don't know what can we say about GGG after he retires, other than he was a great middleweight with only two good-great opponents on his resume (Jacobs, Canelo).

Bumlovkin is in no way, shape or form a "great middleweight". His best win is Danny Jacobs FFS. Please stop..

Temporary... How many fights does he have left in him?

[AKAcronym]

Go to ****ing 168 already. I don't know how he and everyone else on his team isn't realizing that making 160 isn't doing him any favors.
